The DC Book of Pride: A Celebration of DC's LGBTQIA+ Characters by D.K. Publishing, Jadzia Axelrod
The DC Book of Pride is a fantastic guide on the LGBTQ+ characters in the DC comic universe. It is both beautifully formatted and offers a look into characters from all corners of the DC-Multiverse. It provides many looks at the vastness of the DC comic universe for beginners looking to learn more and provides knowledge on how inclusive it can be.
My only complaint is that I wish that the "Data Bank" on each character provided more information on the character and DC Comics in general. Maybe be a note on which characters have explicitly stated what label they identify with, something to help understand the general LGBTQ+ history in DC comics, or more information on what comics/ other media to learn more about the character.
It is overall a great guide and it's already helped me find new places to try and get into DC comics.
Thanks to the author and publisher for providing a free ARC copy through NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
